Okay, the best thing is the cover art on the tin -' a set of giant jaws coming up from the dark depths, and looked pretty cool. The story is standard fare -' strand em, then kill em. The back-story is a drilling rig out in the middle of the ocean. Caught in a storm at the same time they punch through into an underground (under seafloor) cavern and release a monster. The opening scenes were good - something comes out of a deep vent and swims towards the camera - huge teeth are shown... and then everything goes dark....No seriously, I mean real dark! The shots of the creature are mostly so dark I felt like I needed to grab some night- vision goggles cause most of the movie is pitch black.

The first killing takes place on the rig... in a small room! Okay, so we know now its not huge. But wait, they soon find shed skins... is it growing Alien style? It's picking them off one by one (will we humans never learn?), and gives you the monster-cam view of things - wobbly and blurry. But don't worry, towards the end you do get to see the thing (spoilers alert) and crikey, what am i back in the 50s? It looked like some guy in a black wetsuit wearing a web- crown and a bad dental plate -' a bit like the Creature from the Black Lagoon with a breathing problem.

The only cliché they could have included to top it off was to have the hero blow the thing up, with himself being sacrificed at the same time... and then have him miraculously survive... and then also having the thing jumping back out for one last kill!
